a shrub or small tree
well
which is it?
a white willow
in summertime
a willow cracked
a norway field maple
or maple in the field?
a sycamore
or less?
but the tulip trees
that line the streets
their lobes are soft
and pastel greens
beyond my head
the height and furrow
the reaching up
like acting out
how far from home
their flowers bloom
other things said
and do they touch underground
so far above the traffic?
